San Francisco Mayor Promises Crack Down On Huge Problem, But Will It Be Enough?
Super-liberal San Francisco faces a problem of epidemic proportions.
Mayor Mark Farrell vows to fix it once and for all, but it's proving to be pretty difficult.
Out of all states in the Union, California just might be the most liberal.
Sure, a few others give it a run for its money, but I'm sure we all agree that, within the
Golden State, there is not a city more mindlessly left-wing than San Francisco.
The city's liberal roots reach back all the way to the hippie era.
Since then, the soft-brained ideas of the left have taken one of the finest cities in
America and dragged it through the filth.
I'm speaking literally of course.
The filth in the streets of San Francisco is so bad, it is being compared to third world
nations (some countries are actually ranked cleaner).San Francisco was one of the first
cities to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
Perhaps that's what lead to its current predicament.
The city is besieged by an ever-growing crisis.
Many hard-working citizens are fleeing, including business owners and middle-class families.
The streets are becoming progressively more dangerous.
Attempts to address the problem in the past have failed tremendously.
The problem, of course, is rampant homelessness.
Entire neighborhoods are overrun with makeshift shanty towns.
Now, the mayor promises tough action to address the crisis, but he's got an uphill battle
for sure.The return of tents in the Mission District has Mayor Mark Farrell promising
an "aggressive" crackdown of sidewalk camps next week — and this time he's vowing
to keep them out.
"Enough is enough," Farrell said Friday.
"We have offered services time and time again and gotten many off the street, but
there is a resistant population that remains, and their tents have to go."
When it comes to tent camps, Farrell added, "We have moved as a city from a position
of compassion to enabling (unacceptable) street behavior, and as mayor I don't stand for
that."

The city had to actually vote for an "anti-tent" Proposition Q, which gave the officials the
right to remove the homeless dwellings.
Really?
Shouldn't that have just been a given?
Call me crazy, but I don't think people are allowed to just live anywhere.
There's this thing called rent and home ownership.
People work very hard to earn a roof over their head.
Apparently, the homeless of SF could just pop a tent anywhere and the city wasn't
able to do anything.
The mayor vows to remove these shanty towns once and for all.
It might be harder than it looks, though.
Considering homeless just return to where they were a few days later.
There have been sweeps in the area before, but campers returned days later or simply
moved a few blocks away, according to KTVU.
Farrell said this time will be different, as the city plans to have a "dedicated team"
to make sure people don't come back.
"The tents are a public safety hazard for the people living in them, and for the residents
of San Francisco," Farrell told the Chronicle.
"And they are gone."

You have to ask the obvious question: why did it take them so long to deal with this?
The homeless crisis has been growing for years.
Homelessness is a huge problem across California for various reasons (but mostly because of
the drugs).
This rise in homelessness coincides with the growth of the Democratic majority in the state's
government, surprising no one.Like so many other problems, homelessness is easy to prevent
but incredibly hard to fix.
When a community is thriving, most people do well.
They have the opportunity to work and support themselves.
But when an economy collapses, things fall apart like a Jenga game.
Many people resort to drugs and alcohol while becoming dependent on government handouts.
Even when the economy recovers, these people don't rebound so quickly.
Chances are, it will take much more than the local government to fix the homeless crisis
in SF.
The city's first responsibility is to ensure the safety of their law-abiding citizens.
Clearly, shanty towns of homeless are not good for them.
Nor will it attract the millions of tourists San Francisco hopes will come this summer.Will
San Francisco — and all of California — learn how to fix their problems?
Will they be able to reverse their destructive liberal policies before it's too late?
Not if the Democrats stay in charge, that's for sure.
